What do you do when your horse goes down in his float, falls down a cliff, into a sinkhole or septic tank, gets stuck in mud, fire or floodwater or you have an accident while you’re towing? Rescuing a trapped horse is incredibly dangerous. The horse’s first instict when threatened or trapped is to run away. If he can’t run he will fight - and fight hard. How confident are you that you could help him without injuring or killing him or putting your own life or that of others at risk? The correct thing to do is call 000 for help but emergency responders are not trained to rescue large animals so the chances are the crew that turns up will not know what to do. This puts them, you and your horse at extreme risk. The information in this book will help you prevent your horse from being strangled, drowned or dropped, or dragged by ropes tield around his fragile neck and legs. This book is for you, the horse owner, so that if the worst happens you can show emergency responders step-by-step instructions for any kind of rescue and reassure them that using these steps will increase their own safety and that of your horse. Knowing what to do may mean the difference between life and death for your horse. ‘Every horse owner needs the information in this book for their own safety and that of their horse. When you have to call fire/rescue/police you need to know how to help them – this book shows you how.’ Dr Rebecca Gimenez, Primary Instructor/President, Technical Large Animal Emergency Rescue, USA ‘This book is a valuable resource for anyone involved in an emergency horse rescue. It is also a great guide for establishing a safe scene before the arrival of the emergency services. Keep one in your truck or towing vehicle at all times.’ Anthony Hatch, NSW Fire and Rescue and SES Pick up from Wayville or Upper Sturt, South Australia Price:
